With it being Thanksgiving day

With it being Thanksgiving day in the USA and with me being an internet junkie, it was bound to happen that I would come across lots of well wishes and notes of appreciation to those near and dear… and it was likely it was going to rub off on me. So I am thankful. Because today I feel good. As opposed to yesterday when I felt bad. And for the 3 days prior to that too. Thankyou-to-the-God-of-nasty-viruses-that-had-me-sleeping-12-hours-a-day. (not).
Today I am thankful that I can walk around without thinking that I am going to crumple in a heap on the floor and fall asleep. Again. And that my sore throat is gone. Or maybe I just talked too much. Which apparently does happen. lol.

SO it’s back into the swing of things for me – and for those of you asking about the travel/teaching thing – I’ve pretty much turned down any teaching stuff next year. It’s only a year until Abby goes to school and I want her to have a chance at being my little friend – I love that year – I remember Braden being my little friend for that year, as was Jacob. They are old enough to help out with stuff but still too young for school. It’s a precious time and I’ll enjoy it.

I do have a few new jobs that I’ve taken on that will keep me fairly busy anyway. I have enough paid work to call this a full time job now ( I hear my accountant laugh, lol) , but at least this way I can still tuck my own kiddies in their beds at night.

SO! Congrats to Courtney Walsh who I saw had a new baby boy on the 19th. Awwww.

AND! I found this gallery on 2peas the other day. Capucinno I have no idea of this ladies’ name or even where she comes from as she doesn’t post on 2peas but I thought I’d point out her gallery. Love it. She needs to post more LOL.

I love that we have had 8 days of sunshine in a row and today it was 24 degrees. (See that Vaughan? You need to come home!) That is 80 degrees for those that are hemispherically challenged. I see on this rain radar – love this thing – that we are going to get some rain over Saturday – but hey.. we can’t be too greedy. I don’t like that petrol has gone upo to like $1.73 a litre. I like that I drive a deisel. I dont’t like that deisel has gone up too. lol.

Leaving you with a layout – which my scanner chose to make extremely bright – I tried to calm it back down. This is the Scenic Route Salem. And although it is bright IRL, not quite so much. Anther pic of Abby. Paul asked me the other day what I’d do when my kids grow up and I simply can’t take pics of them anymore. I told him I’d have to take more pics of hinm. lol. Unimpressed. You watch. I’ll turn that into a title for a layout ;o)
